Dog Policy at Bay View Cottage

 

Generally speaking we prefer not to have dogs staying at the house, however we understand that for practical and emotional reasons families may wish or need to bring their dog on holiday with them.

 

 

Dogs do create substantially more cleaning work on changeover days when we have limited time to prepare the house for new guests arriving. To minimise this we may remove some of the downstairs rugs / furnishings prior to your arrival. If your dog is in any way aggressive or territorial outside and around the house problems can occur with local dog walkers, horse riders, delivery or maintenance people, neighbouring or the care takers dog that may stray onto the property.

 

 

The following policy applies:

 

 

  • We will allow one well-behaved, house-trained dog (no puppies)

 

  • We will charge you a £25 supplement to cover our extra cleaning costs.

 

  • Your dog must be insured for public liability and property damage (most standard dog insurance covers this)

 

  • Dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms

 

  • Dogs are not allowed on the furniture

 

  • You must bring your own dog bed, food and water bowls, food mat and towel

 

  • Do not feed your dog outside unattended

 

  • Do not leave any dog food outside in food bowls, sacks, bags or opened tins as this can cause problems with rats, foxes, neighboring dogs etc. We will provide you with a plastic bin to keep your food inside the house

 

  • Food and water bowls inside the house must be placed on the food mat. If you have forgotten to bring one please ask on arrival and we will provide you with one

 

  • Never use house towels to dry or clean your dog. If you have forgotten to bring one please ask and we will provide you with one

  • Dogs that have any slight tendencies towards aggression or territorial issues must not be allowed to roam free in the garden, includes aggression towards other dogs or animals that may pass by (horses etc)

 

  • All dog mess must be removed from the garden, roadside and car park and placed in the dog mess compost bin (do not use plastic bags as they do not always bio degrade). We will provide you with a shovel. Do not throw it into the banks, stream or flower beds where children play and gardeners garden

 

  • Dogs must not be left unattended in the house at anytime (most local pubs, restaurants and beaches are dog friendly)

 

  • Bitches in season must be kept on a lead or indoors

 

  • By paying the £50 dog supplement with your booking you are agreeing to all of the above conditions and you risk losing your security deposit if you do not abide by them.
